Ganiyu Folabi Salau of Omupo constituency, who raised the motion on the floor of the house, argued that agricultural science should be made compulsory from primary to secondary school level In leading the debate, Salau said agricultural education would strengthen pupils physically and mentally and help sustain the economy, promote informed decisions, and broaden career opportunities.
Saba Yisa Gideon of Edu constituency moved the motion on the need to promote dry-season farming for enhanced food security in the state. In leading the debate, he expressed concern that due to the lack of rainfall during this period, farmers depend heavily on irrigation systems to water their farms. He noted that while some crops thrive during dry seasons, most farmers do not take advantage of this but rather concentrate on rainy-season farming only.
